35 wks feeling terrible with cold after whooping cough vaccine

[Monkeybrain10]

Just wanted some advice. I'm 35 weeks, have managed whole pregnancy without a day off sick til today. I had the whooping cough jab last week and since then feel like my immune system has been shot to bits. Suddenly i've got a horrible cold/chest infection and can't walk due to sciatica. I broke down in tears at the supermarket yesterday because i was on crutches and didn't know how i was supposed to shop with no free hands...and obviously just feeling crap anyhow.
Anyway i just wondered if anyone has had similar or has any remedies? I'm just taking paracetamol and eating as much fruit as i can! still 2 weeks left at work but I'm wondering now if i can do it!

I not long gotten over chest nd throat infection...nearly turned to neumoniaa it was tht bad. I just rested alot and stayed in n took my antibiotics as i felct worse if i went anywhere x

Yes, that's probably all you can do, rest, get fluids etc. So sorry you are poorly.

I would chat to your GP about getting these symptoms so suddenly. I wouldn't have thought they came from the vaccine, but s/he would be better placed to advise and what to do about it.

Thanks. Been to gp who has given me antibiotics in case it gets worse over the weekend. Hopefully won't have to take them! Thanks for the sympathy :-)

Get one of the carts if you're on crutches.
